I guess it depends what you mean by knowing. The bug is shown when the
remote has a ref that we don't; we try to feed the name of that ref to
fast-export, which of course doesn't work, because we don't have
anything by that name.

So in that sense, no, we don't know about the ref. But it is not about
us knowing about the remote having the ref; the problem is that we _do_
know that the remote has that ref, and assume we have a matching one.
